‘Peter Pan’ continues holiday tradition<br />
For more than three decades, Music<br />
Theater Works’ December production has<br />
been a North Shore tradition, bringing<br />
families together to enjoy a favorite musical<br />
over the holidays. Children, parents<br />
and grandparents alike have delighted in<br />
these annual presentations of beloved operettas<br />
and Broadway classics, and many<br />
young people remember them as a formative<br />
experience in kindling a life-long<br />
love of the theater.<br />
The tradition continues this year when<br />
Music Theater Works presents the perennially<br />
popular musical, “Peter Pan,”<br />
at Evanston’s Cahn Auditorium from<br />
Dec. 23-Jan. 1. The story of the boy who<br />
would not grow up and his swashbuckling<br />
nemesis, Captain Hook, has been near to<br />
the hearts of theatergoers since Peter first<br />
flew across a London stage more than 100<br />
years ago. There have been many versions<br />
of this tale over the years, but this<br />
1954 Broadway musical adaptation has<br />
emerged as perhaps the most favored of<br />
all.<br />
When a producer approached Mary<br />
Martin, Broadway’s premiere leading<br />
lady, with the opportunity to build a new<br />
“Peter Pan” around her abundant talents,<br />
she jumped at the chance. Martin was<br />
so enthusiastic about the project that she<br />
insisted on assembling the production<br />
team herself. Hearing the song, “Young<br />
at Heart,” on the radio, she decided then<br />
and there to hire its lyricist, an unknown<br />
twenty-something named Carolyn Leigh.<br />
Leigh brought along her even younger<br />
writing partner, the composer Morris<br />
“Moose” Charlap. Martin was delighted<br />
with her young songwriters, and felt they<br />
would bring a youthful exuberance to a<br />
tale that cried out for just that.<br />
In Broadway legend Jerome Robbins’<br />
original staging, “Peter Pan” was an immediate<br />
sensation on Broadway, and soon<br />
reached an audience of millions more on<br />
NBC television in 1955. The broadcast<br />
was so popular that the cast went into the<br />
NBC studio again in 1956 and 1960, and<br />
that 1960 taping was rerun year after year,<br />
introducing generations to this evergreen<br />
musical.<br />
A whole new generation can experience<br />
it live this December. Rudy Hogenmiller,<br />
Music Theater Works’ artistic director,<br />
will stage a magical new production with<br />
a cast of 33 led by Aubrey Adams (Paramount<br />
Theatre’s “Mamma Mia!” and<br />
“West Side Story”) taking the title role,<br />
and Music Theater Works’ longtime leading<br />
man, Larry Adams (“South Pacific”<br />
and “Kiss Me, Kate”) playing everyone’s<br />
favorite villain, the irrepressible Captain<br />
Hook. Among the young performers playing<br />
Peter’s loyal Lost Boys are Wilmette’s<br />
Asher Alcantera and Daniel Shoemaker.<br />
Roger L. Bingaman will lead the full orchestra<br />
playing the lush original Broadway<br />
orchestrations.<br />
So whether you’re a newcomer or a lifelong<br />
“Peter Pan” devotee, here is a chance<br />
to be part of an enduring local tradition,<br />
and fly off to Neverland this holiday season.<br />
Look out for crocodiles!<br />
“Peter Pan” will run Saturday, Dec.<br />
23 through Monday, Jan. 1 at Evanston’s<br />
Cahn Auditorium, 600 Emerson St. The<br />
audience can meet and talk with cast<br />
members after the matinee performances<br />
on Dec. 26, 27 and 30. As always at Music<br />
Theater Works, admission for those<br />
25-and-younger is half price. For tickets,<br />

‘Shen Yun: Connecting<br />
Heaven & Earth’ to play<br />
in March, April<br />
There was a time when<br />
the world was full of magic<br />
and splendor, and all on<br />
Earth existed in harmony<br />
with Heaven. One could<br />
see it in the arts, feel it in<br />
the air, and hear it in the<br />
beat of a drum.<br />
This was a land of heroes<br />
and sages, dragons<br />
and phoenixes, emperors<br />
and immortals. Known<br />
today as China, this place<br />
was once called “the Land<br />
of the Divine.”<br />
What if one could journey<br />
back and visit this lost<br />
paradise?<br />
Shen Yun brings the<br />
profound spirit of this<br />
lost civilization to life on<br />
stage with unrivaled artistic<br />
mastery. Every dance<br />
movement, every musical<br />
note, makes this a stunning<br />
visual and emotional experience<br />
people will not find<br />
anywhere else. Banned in<br />
communist China today,<br />
the nonprofit Shen Yun<br />
is dedicated to reviving<br />
5,000 years of civilization.<br />
Audiences can experience<br />
art connecting Heaven<br />
and Earth! They can<br />
experience Shen Yun.<br />
“An extraordinary<br />
experience! Exquisitely<br />
beautiful.”<br />
—Cate Blanchett, Academy<br />
Award–winning actress<br />

new ideas for the next<br />

Academy-Award winning<br />
production designer for<br />
“Avatar”<br />
“I’ve reviewed over<br />
4,000 shows. None can<br />
compare to what I saw<br />
tonight. Go back and see<br />
it about six times.”<br />
—Richard Connema, renowned<br />
Broadway critic<br />
“Absolutely the No. 1<br />
show in the world, absolutely<br />
the best—no other<br />
company or of any style<br />
can match this.”<br />
—Kenn Wells, former<br />
lead dancer of the English<br />
National Ballet<br />
“Superb! Every performance<br />
was stunning.”<br />

Mary Ann, I have been caring<br />
for my mother in my home.<br />
How can I know when the right<br />
time comes to move her into<br />
memory care community?<br />
Most of us caring for our<br />
loved one come from a subjective<br />
place. I have found that the<br />
decision is easier to make if you<br />
step back and look at it more objectively.<br />
We want to keep the promises<br />
we have made to care for<br />
our loved ones. Sometimes that<br />
includes keeping them at home.<br />
However, it has been proven<br />
that when one is diagnosed with<br />
this disease, they have a better<br />
experience of life in a community<br />
where others are experiencing<br />
the same emotions, feelings and<br />
behaviors. In both my personal<br />
and professional experience, I<br />
have found that, surprisingly<br />
The right time to move into<br />
memory care community<br />
your loved one will have an<br />
easier time adjusting to what he<br />
or she are experiencing because<br />
they will be able to make new<br />
friends and it will bring them to<br />
an emotional comfort level that<br />
they would not experience if<br />
they were to stay in their homes.<br />
Family members don’t realize<br />
that being in their homes won’t<br />
give them the opportunity for<br />
the social interaction, exercise,<br />
reminiscing or connecting to<br />
past interests.<br />
The other opportunity that<br />
coming into a community can<br />
give them is the many types of<br />
engagement that they will be<br />
involved in which is extremely<br />
important to slow down the<br />
process of the disease. Lives<br />
change for those on this journey<br />
when in the proper environment.<br />
The time to choose to move to a<br />
community is sooner rather than<br />
later.<br />
So once a diagnosis is made,<br />
especially if it is very early onset,<br />
one should begin to create<br />
criteria for what you would like<br />
your loved one to experience<br />
when living in a memory care<br />
community.<br />
Emerald Place is an Anthem<br />
Memory Care Community,<br />
which means we are person centered,<br />
dedicating ourselves every<br />
day to providing the highest<br />
quality care, comfort and support<br />
to our residents. Our pledge<br />
is to protect, engage and love<br />
people living with memory loss.<br />
At Emerald Place, we offer<br />
support groups and educational<br />
events.<br />
Submitted by Emerald Place, 1879<br />
Chestnut Ave., Glenview. Contact<br />
Mary Ann Pappone at (630) 296-<br />

Awakenings Holistic Wellness promotes<br />

Country Christmas and Dessert with Santa<br />
Sunday-Thursday, Nov. 26-30, The<br />
Grove, 1421 Milwaukee Ave. Savor the<br />
sights and sounds of a country Christmas<br />
with friends and family. Meet at<br />
the Interpretive Center, then take a winter<br />
walk to the Pioneer Log Cabin for<br />
Kelly Moretta, owner of<br />
Awakenings Holistic Wellness,<br />
helps people move<br />
toward balance and wholeness<br />
with Reiki Bio-field<br />
Energy Therapy.<br />
Reiki is a Japanese<br />
hands-on healing technique<br />
that promotes overall<br />
health and well-being<br />
by restoring balance to the<br />
body’s energy system at<br />
physical, emotional, mental<br />
and spiritual levels.<br />
“Reiki is one of the fastest<br />
growing complementary<br />
healing techniques,”<br />
she explained. “It is widely<br />
practiced in homes,<br />
clinics, hospitals, nursing<br />
homes and spas throughout<br />
the world.”<br />
Clinical studies have<br />
shown that Reiki can relax<br />
the body, relieve pain,<br />
improve sleep, clear toxins<br />
and boost the immune<br />
system. Reiki benefits the<br />
healthy and those with illness<br />
and is valuable for all<br />
ages. It is widely used for<br />
stress management and relaxation.<br />
For people with<br />
chronic illness, regular<br />
treatments will help manage<br />
symptoms and enhance<br />
conventional treatment.<br />
Kelly works with her<br />
clients to customize each<br />
Reiki session based on<br />
their specific needs because<br />
of her passion for<br />
helping others.<br />
Kelly is a Reiki Master<br />
in the Usui/Tibetian, Ascension<br />
and Reiju systems<br />
of healing, among other<br />
modalities. Kelly holds<br />
certification with the International<br />
Association of<br />
Reiki Professionals and<br />
the International Center<br />
for Reiki Training.<br />
As the founder and coordinator<br />
of North Shore<br />
Reiki and Energy Healers<br />
she has created a local<br />
community for both<br />
experienced energy healers<br />
and those interested in<br />
experiencing and learning<br />
about the benefits of Reiki<br />
energy work.<br />
Kelly is also a Reiki<br />
Master Teacher offering<br />
certification classes for<br />
those wanting to enhance<br />
and empower their lives<br />
with this harmonizing energy.<br />
“Reiki’s gentle and nurturing<br />
energy is an ancient<br />
technique that is the wave<br />
of the future,” Kelly said.<br />
“For those looking for a<br />
more holistic approach to<br />
health and wellness the<br />
opportunities are endless.”<br />
Kelly discovered energy<br />
healing through her own<br />
need for healing.<br />
After leading a successful<br />
corporate management<br />
position while raising two<br />
young daughters, she suddenly<br />
found herself in<br />
need of medical help. The<br />
stress and demands of a<br />
fast-paced career and family<br />
life had taken its toll.<br />
She was diagnosed with<br />
an autoimmune condition<br />
similar to Lupus that demanded<br />
she immediately<br />
pay more attention to herself.<br />
Doctors offered a host of<br />
pharmaceuticals, but she<br />
knew the key was in making<br />
life changes and embracing<br />
holistic mind and<br />
body wellness techniques<br />
to heal herself.<br />
“I began practicing yoga<br />
and meditation,” Kelly<br />
said. “Later I received my<br />
first Reiki session, and although<br />
initially skeptical,<br />
I immediately became a<br />
believer and an outspoken<br />
advocate of this transformative<br />
healing art.”<br />
Having experienced the<br />
profound healing that she<br />
did, her passion to share<br />
it with as many people<br />
as possible was ignited.<br />
Kelly left her corporate<br />
career and began studying<br />
different modalities of energy<br />
healing, advancing to<br />
Master Teacher with Reiki<br />
as her chosen specialty.<br />
Along with her healing<br />
treatments, Kelly is also a<br />
certified yoga instructor.<br />
She often combines Reiki,<br />
breath work and meditation<br />
with her clients for a<br />
truly transformative experience.<br />

Writers Theatre was named “America’s<br />

Street Journal, who went on to describe<br />
the Theatre’s new home as “the finest<br />
piece of theatrical construction to open in<br />
the U.S. in the past decade.” Meanwhile,<br />

Theatre “A nearly perfect evening of<br />
theater — an ideal match of play, performance<br />
and setting.” Why not see what all<br />
the fuss is about?<br />
With four exciting productions remaining<br />
in the 2017/18 Season — including<br />
celebrated classics by Oscar Wilde (“The<br />
Importance of Being Earnest”), Eugene<br />
O’Neill (“A Moon for the Misbegotten”)<br />
and Sam Shepard (“Buried Child”), as<br />
well as the fascinating new play, “Smart<br />
People,” by Chicago playwright Lydia R.<br />
Diamond — now is the perfect time to<br />
join as a subscriber and guarantee your<br />
tickets to these highly anticipated productions.<br />

Come and sing<br />
with YCT today<br />
Youth Choral Theater of<br />
Chicago (YCT) is a youth<br />
choir that has had its roots<br />
in Chicago’s North Shore<br />
for over 30 years. YCT is<br />
focused on bringing topnotch<br />
musical training to all<br />
students seeking musical<br />
education, no matter their<br />
economic background.<br />
Since our beginning, we<br />
have done just that.<br />
YCT stands out from<br />
other youth choirs through<br />
our training process that<br />
is deeply rooted in music<br />
education. Through our<br />
four different ensembles,<br />
involving students ages<br />
3-18, we train students in a<br />
continuous way that helps<br />
them advance through<br />
our ensembles with ease<br />
while developing their<br />
musical skills. We accept<br />
students going through a<br />
voice change, which not<br />
all youth choirs in the area<br />
do, because we believe<br />
that a well rounded choir<br />
includes all voice types.<br />
Another thing that sets<br />
YCT apart is our adventurous<br />
musical selections.<br />
Through commissions and<br />
collaborations with local<br />
composers, YCT performs<br />
pieces that are not only<br />
challenging to sing, but<br />
also expand the musical<br />
horizons of our singers.<br />
Last year, all YCT ensembles<br />
sang songs in Korean,<br />
Polynesian, Swahili, and<br />
Spanish. Our music addressed<br />
issues of discrimination,<br />
pride, courage,<br />
fear, love, hope, and exploration.<br />
We believe that<br />
it is not only important to<br />
push our students musically,<br />
but also emotionally,<br />
helping them to develop<br />
empathy inspired by what<br />
they are singing.<br />
The YCT season schedule<br />
works hard to eliminate<br />
conflicts with school schedules<br />
in the area. Classes<br />
begin in early September<br />
and end in May with breaks<br />
throughout, including<br />
Thanksgiving break, December<br />
holiday break, and<br />
spring break. Throughout<br />
the season, YCT ensembles<br />
have 5-6 concerts. Four<br />
of these concerts include<br />
all YCT ensembles while<br />
the remaining concerts are<br />
“professional concerts,” for<br />
our older students.<br />
YCT has four ensembles<br />
for students, each with its<br />
own age range, rehearsal,<br />
and concert schedule. Winnetka<br />
Children’s Chorus<br />
is comprised of students<br />
grades preK (up to 3 years<br />
old) through first-grade<br />
and they rehearse from<br />
4:30-5:30 p.m. Mondays<br />
at the Winnetka Covenant<br />
Church.<br />
Concertinais comprised<br />
of students grades 2-3 and<br />
rehearses from 5:30-6:30<br />
p.m. Mondays at the Winnetka<br />
Covenant Church.<br />
The Winnetka Covenant<br />
Church is located at 1200<br />
Hibbard<br />
Road, Wilmette. These<br />
two ensembles perform in<br />
the four season concerts<br />
that all YCT ensembles are<br />
included in.<br />
Treble Ensemble is comprised<br />
of students grades<br />
4-6 and rehearses from 3-4<br />
p.m. Sundays at Trinity<br />
United Methodist Church.<br />
Chamber Chorale is comprised<br />
of students grades<br />
7-12 and rehearses on 4-6<br />
p.m. Sundays at Trinity<br />
United Methodist Church.<br />
TUMC is located at 1024<br />

two ensembles perform on<br />
all concerts throughout the<br />

Knobel confirms the old saying: ‘What<br />
goes around, comes around’<br />
Karl Knobel began our<br />
remodeling business in<br />
his basement in 1933. As<br />
the business grew, he built<br />
a three-car garage on his<br />
property, using it as material<br />
storage, a warehouse<br />
and a workshop. When<br />
the business, the number<br />
of employees and the variety<br />
of products and innovations<br />
grew, he built a<br />
showroom with an office<br />
and a large workshop with<br />
warehouse space.<br />
For several years, the<br />
warehouse/workshop was<br />
used mostly to fabricate<br />
Corian kitchen and bath<br />
counter tops, as well as our<br />
normal kitchen and bath<br />
business, which includes<br />
partial and full makeover<br />
projects. Once again, the<br />
variety of products and<br />
their manufactures grew<br />
in number and size. It became<br />
a necessary service<br />
to our clients, as they made<br />
their product choices, to<br />
assist them at some of the<br />
huge showrooms dedicated<br />
to only selling the vast<br />
variety of products that<br />
are now available. So our<br />
business downsized, and<br />
the result was a smaller<br />
showroom without a workshop/warehouse<br />
space.<br />
Now, we have determined<br />
that for a more efficient<br />
and economic operation,<br />
we require even less<br />
space. Therefore, as of Jan.<br />
1, 2018, we are leaving the<br />
building that Karl built in<br />
1948 and moving into an<br />
office space at 1150 Wilmette<br />
Ave., Suite A. It’s<br />
not a garage, and is bigger<br />
than a small basement. It is<br />
the evolution of our business<br />
model. With the help<br />
of computers, smartphones<br />
and the like, we are able<br />
to continue to design, sell<br />
and install beautiful and<br />
functional kitchens and<br />
bathrooms that meet the<br />
individual needs of our clients.<br />
We are still developing<br />
and maintaining lasting<br />
relationships with our<br />
clients, who continue to<br />
recommend us to friends<br />
and neighbors, and we are<br />
still available for free estimates<br />
at (847) 251-4465<br />
and kgkinc@aol.com.<br />
Thank you, people of<br />
Wilmette and the North<br />
Shore communities for<br />
your continued support of<br />
our family business these<br />
past 84 years. Peter & Paul<br />

DEAR FRIENDS<br />
As the holidays approach, I have been<br />
reflecting on this past year when we<br />
have witnessed some of the greatest<br />
humanitarian crises of our time. Between<br />
devastating hurricanes to the south and<br />
wildfires on the west coast, so many lives<br />
have been affected. And many have lost<br />
everything – yet need to find the strength<br />
and courage to carry on.<br />
I have been blessed with a wonderful<br />
family, loyal staff and clientele. I would like<br />
to invite you all to participate with me in<br />
donating to the charity of your choice to help<br />
those around the world.<br />
We at Pascal pour Elle are giving a percentage<br />
of our proceeds to help those in need. Please<br />
visit our website at www.pascalpourelle.com<br />
and choose a charity you wish to help support.<br />
From our Pascal pour Elle family to yours,<br />
have a wonderful, happy and healthy holiday<br />
season, and a new year in which we all do<br />
our part to make the world a better place.<br />

Plenty of fun seasonal options throughout Wilmette<br />
People love to shop, eat and<br />
explore in Wilmette for the<br />
same reason people love living<br />
here: the people. Wilmette<br />
business owners live, work<br />
and play here too. They are<br />
your friends, your neighbors,<br />
your family. They have pride<br />
in their town and are here to<br />
support you and provide you<br />
with their expertise and personalized<br />

community while getting<br />
unique products and superior<br />
customer service seem like a<br />
good start.<br />
The holiday shopping season<br />
is a great opportunity to make<br />
your way around Wilmette and<br />
get to know these local businesses<br />
and see what’s new.<br />
You may have lived around<br />
here for years and not realize<br />
how many new businesses<br />
have popped up in the last few<br />
years. Have you been to the<br />
Torino Ramen on Wilmette<br />
Avenue or St. Roger Abbey<br />
French Bakery and Cafe on<br />
Central Street? Did you know<br />
Chantilly Lace moved to Plaza<br />

baubles. And of course<br />
make sure to stop in Lad and<br />

and beautifully wrap up your<br />
gifts for adults and children<br />
alike. Planning on entertaining<br />
this holiday season? Have<br />
de Guilio Kitchen Design and<br />
Bella Tile make your kitchen<br />
look like you’re a chef and<br />
then call Scandia Catering if<br />
you’re not.<br />
What’s great about coming<br />
downtown Wilmette is that you<br />
can make a full day (or night)<br />
out of it. As the sun goes down<br />
and the beautiful lights on the<br />
trees come up, enjoy great dining<br />
by locally-owned Depot<br />
Nuevo, Napolita or Nicks or<br />
catch a movie at Wilmette Theatre.<br />
Make sure to stop over to<br />
Plaza del Lago for more great<br />
exploring. Pop into your favorite<br />
boutiques like Vibrato, La<br />
Collona or grab a special gift<br />

Lace’s new location to grab a<br />
set of comfy PJ’s. Planning for<br />

year? Higher Gear can set you<br />

HEART Certified Auto Care promises<br />
same quality service for locals<br />
Duxler Complete Auto<br />
Care, a community leader<br />
in car repair and automotive<br />
services, proudly announced<br />
that the company<br />
is now HEART Certified<br />
Auto Care. The new name<br />
reflects their commitment<br />
to family values that is intertwined<br />
with their dedication<br />
to treating customers<br />
with compassion and<br />
respect at every step of<br />
their experience with automotive<br />
maintenance and<br />
repairs.<br />
Why HEART? Duxler<br />
is a family-owned business<br />
that has embraced<br />
family values since they<br />
first opened their doors<br />
in 1924. While the Moak<br />
family owns three Duxler<br />
locations, there are other<br />
Duxler stores, so the name<br />
had to be changed in order<br />
to take their mission nationwide.<br />
Capturing their<br />
core values in their new<br />
name, HEART, the company<br />
aspires to share their<br />
culture of caring across the<br />
U.S. They have a mission<br />
to always treat their customers<br />
as they would treat<br />
their neighbors — with<br />
compassion and respect.<br />
“Our new name shows<br />
that we care, in an industry<br />
that is not well known<br />
for its empathic approach<br />
toward customers,” said<br />
Brian Moak, founder and<br />
owner of HEART Certified<br />
Auto Care. “We want<br />
to build off our 90 years<br />
of tradition and move forward<br />
in the technical era to<br />
change how auto service is<br />
delivered. We’re providing<br />
a road map for long-term<br />
planning for your car. Our<br />
approach combines oldfashioned<br />
service with expert<br />
technicians to give our<br />
customers honest, genuine<br />
advice and same day service.”<br />
With the new name,<br />
HEART has established a<br />
new system to create complete<br />
transparency in auto<br />
care. All issues are photographed<br />
to show customers<br />
exactly why repairs<br />
are recommended. The<br />
new system is designed to<br />
provide all the information<br />
needed to make informed<br />
decisions about auto care.<br />
Though there may<br />
have been a few changes,<br />
HEART maintains its same<br />
great personnel in order<br />
continue serving their customers<br />
with the same high<br />
level of expertise and attentiveness<br />
that they were<br />
accustomed to receiving at<br />
Duxler. With complimentary<br />
loaner vehicles and<br />
same-day service, HEART<br />
continues to go the extra<br />
mile to make sure its customers<br />
are taken care of<br />
with as little disruption to<br />
their lives as possible.<br />
The technicians at<br />
HEART Certified Auto<br />
Care are ASE certified and<br />
committed to providing<br />
outstanding service, expert<br />
repairs and an exceptional<br />
customer experience.<br />
When you want more than<br />
just a mechanic, trust in<br />

Top 10 ingredients to have on hand for<br />
easy, casual holiday entertaining<br />
STATEPOINT MEDIA<br />
Grandma in town? Unexpected<br />
guests? No problem!<br />
With a little planning<br />
and the right ingredients,<br />
holiday entertaining is a<br />
snap.<br />
Stock up on these fridge,<br />
freezer and pantry staples a<br />
couple of weeks before the<br />
holiday rush, and you’ll be<br />
ready — no matter who’s<br />
on your doorstep.<br />
• Whole nuts: walnuts, pecans,<br />
almonds, cashews<br />
or pistachios.<br />
• Olives: whole and sliced,<br />
black ripe, green, Kalamata<br />
and stuffed varieties<br />
in cans and jars.<br />
• Cheese: feta, mozzarella,<br />
cheddar, and aged provolone<br />
(tightly wrapped<br />
or vacuum-pack cheeses<br />
can last in the fridge for<br />
several weeks).<br />
• Tortilla chips.<br />
• Salsa in a jar: mild or<br />
medium to please most<br />
palates.<br />
• Whole pita or pita crisps:<br />
pita bread can be frozen.<br />
• Hummus: choose a sealed<br />
refrigerated package.<br />
• Carrots, celery and bell<br />
peppers: whole veggies<br />
keep longer than precut,<br />
and these three are<br />
easy to find in the produce<br />
aisle.<br />
• Frozen cheese pizza:<br />
choose your favorite<br />
brand.<br />
• Olive oil: a kitchen essential.<br />
These 10 basic ingredients<br />
are the building<br />
blocks for five delicious,<br />
party-worthy spreads that<br />
can be prepped in 15 minutes<br />
or less! Here’s how:<br />
Fast Cheese and Olive Tray<br />
Cube cheddar cheese,<br />
aged provolone, and mozzarella.<br />
On a platter, make<br />
rows of alternating colors<br />
with cubed white cheese<br />
next to a row of green<br />
Pearls Specialties Garlic<br />
Stuffed Queen olives, then<br />
a row of darker cheese and<br />
a row of deep purple Kalamata<br />
olives. Present with<br />
toothpicks and napkins for<br />
easy self-service.<br />
Pizza-tizers<br />
A simple cheese pizza is<br />
a canvas for appetizer art!<br />
Add fresh, thinly sliced<br />
bell pepper, shredded<br />
mozzarella cheese, and a<br />
generous topping of sliced<br />
black ripe olives. Bake,<br />
then cut into mini-slices<br />
or small squares and serve<br />
on wooden cutting boards.<br />
Drizzle with olive oil.<br />
Mediterranean Medley<br />
Place store-bought hummus<br />
into a colorful dipping<br />
bowl. Drizzle with olive oil<br />
and top with sliced Pearls<br />
Kalamata olives. On a<br />
large platter, surround the<br />
bowl with equal amounts<br />
of pita triangles, carrot<br />
and celery sticks, plus bell<br />
pepper strips. Serve with a<br />
bowl of Kalamata olives<br />
and cubed feta cheese.<br />
Cheese and Olive Kebabs<br />
Alternate cubes of<br />
mozzarella or provolone<br />
cheese and any variety of<br />
olives on small bamboo<br />
skewers and serve on a<br />
tray, alongside pita triangles<br />
and hummus. Expert<br />
tip: Cut pita bread in<br />
triangles, brush with olive<br />
oil, warm in oven 350F for<br />
5-6 minutes.<br />
Olive Nachos<br />
Fill a cast iron pan with<br />
tortilla chips, generously<br />
grate cheddar cheese over<br />
the top, and slide under<br />
the broiler until the cheese<br />
bubbles. Spoon salsa on<br />
top, sprinkle with sliced<br />
Pearls California black<br />
ripe olives, and serve on a<br />
heat-resistant board.<br />
Extra Credit: Easy Pleasers<br />
Sometimes the simplest<br />
flavors are best. Fill several<br />
small, colorful bowls<br />
with Pearls Specialties<br />
olives, crunchy nuts, and<br />
cubed cheeses. A sprig of<br />
parsley, thyme or rosemary<br />
adds a decorative touch.<br />
The key to holiday entertaining<br />
is being prepared<br />
with a few simple ingredients<br />
so you can spend<br />
more time with guests and<br />
less time in the kitchen!<br />
